Speaking to RadarOnline.com, he revealed: "Nobody told me anything ... I did not know that Jenelle had gotten pregnant and she didn't talk to me about getting an abortion."

Courtland - who was released from jail on January 11 after spending time behind bars on drug charges - was as shocked as the rest of us when the revelation was aired in a preview trailer for Jenelle's reality show.

He said: "It's not fair that I found out about the pregnancy on a Teen Mom commercial.

"I didn't know anything until I got out because I was trying to stay away from the drama.

"It breaks my heart. It hurts a lot inside. The fact that I had a kid and I didn't even know I had a kid."

And Courtland admitted the decision over whether to keep the child would have been difficult but he wished he'd "had a say".

He explained: "I would have been tremendously upset. I would have [liked] to have a say in what happened, at least have Jenelle talk to me. Anything would have been better than finding out from television."
